Cansford Laboratories

Cansford Laboratories is a state-of the-art Laboratory based in Cardiff, Wales, using Hair and Oral Fluid for Drug and Alcohol Testing. Our team pioneered hair testing 25 years ago for drugs of abuse and today offers a modern, fast, high quality service. We are leaders in our field, the fastest sample turnaround times in the UK, using the latest available technology and innovative approaches.

We have prepared many thousands of expert witness reports and attended Court frequently over the years. Cansford Laboratories stays at the forefront of drug testing by a programme of continuous development.

We publish regularly in peer-reviewed journals. We participate fully in scientific conferences and societies such as the European Workplace Drug Testing Society and The International Association of Forensic Toxicologists. We are also the only UK laboratory who can test hair ‘in-house’ for New Psychoactive Substances (NPS “Legal Highs”) as well as Steroids, results all available in less than 3 days.
